Description:

When it comes to recruitment and hiring, you’ve got a lot of options to consider. Depending on the type of position you’re looking to fill, search firms, trade unions, colleges, and your own workforce are just a few of the resources you can tap into to find candidates. But are the candidates you find really a match for your needs? And how well will they fit into your organization’s strategic mission?

Even once you find a match, your work isn’t done yet. You need to be sure you have the resources in place for keeping your new worker happy and engaged so that he or she doesn’t jump ship. Ideally, you’re looking for a long, mutually productive relationship. And there are things you can do to greatly increase your odds of achieving this.

Order this in-depth 90-minute audio conference recording all about the best strategies for finding, hiring, and retaining the best workers for your organization.
